Hi Or6
you need to be sure that the data roaming is on
also that the network operator is automatic
and finally the APN configuration https://fizz.ca/en/faq/what-are-fizz-network-settings-apn

Sometimes the AUTOMATIC network selection is NOT correct.
So if you have purchased a Travel Addon, your phone Roaming on, and your APN settings are correct, then check to see what NETWORK cariers/operators are available.
You sometimes need to manually change it to another network.
Fizz does NOT necessarily have agreements with ALL the operators.

Emporium has a good point @Or6 , your phone does not know which carrier has a contract with Videotron/Fizz.
So you may have to cycle manually until you get the correct one. Be patient while doing so.
It's like a foreigner coming here and his phone gets automatically switched to Bell while in fact it should have been Telus because his home carrier/provider has no contract with Bell but only Telus.
As an example, the next capture shows that the cell picked DiGi but others are available.

Hello, the other comments are valid but another option international travelers use is to buy a prepaid SIM from a local provider. This is often less expensive and more flexible than purchasing add-ons. Happy travels.

Correct, and sometimes you get more than just data; sometimes you get free data usage for certain apps like Facebook, Whatsapp, ...
You get many offers directly at the airport.
